Jeff Stratton
Heartland Biblical Counseling, Sr. Risk Analyst
Board Chairman
My great claim to fame was that I was born not in the “State” of, but the “Territory” of Alaska, a year before it became the 49th State in the Union in 1959. I grew up in a denominational church and always remember having a personal relationship with Jesus. I attended Calvary Chapel of San Diego School of Evangelism, was a Youth Director, and then a missionary to England working with the homeless. From there, I had a continuing desire to help families, and I attended Christian Heritage College (now San Diego Christian College) and graduated with a B.S. in Counseling Psychology. I then went on to receive a Master’s of Social Work at San Diego State University. I worked for eight years for Child Protection Services and received my LCSW while working there. I have been a part-time licensed counselor with Heartland Biblical Counseling for over 20 years. I see Biblical counseling as finely tuned discipleship.As Paul expresses in Galatians 6:10, I enjoy doing “good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.” In my other occupation, I am employed at a financial institution as a Sr. Risk Analyst working to mitigate cyber fraud. I am married to a wonderful, godly wife and we have three wonderful children, the first two whom we adopted. We have learned much from all three of them in our journey together with Jesus.
